Sackamknto, January 3, ISS.O.
The Senate met pursuant Co adjournment, Ueu
tenant-Qovernor Johnson in the chair.
Hull called and a quorum present.
Keading of the journal of yesterday dispensed
irltb ami the journ .1 approved.
ASBF.MBLV ME6BAOK.
A message was received from the Assembly an
nouncing the adoption of Senat* Concurrent Reso
lution N... 1, relative to the up; oiutment of a joint
Committee ol Arrangements fur the Inauguration of
the Governor and Usiitenant-Governor elect ; also
the adoption of Assembly Concurrent Rcboluliun
No. 4, relative to the appointment of John F. Swift
.;* United State- Minister to China.
The Assembly message was taken up, and the Sec
retary mad Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 4,
as follows :
Wiikkkas, We have heard that there is soon to be
app Anted a Minister of the United states to the Em
pire of China in the place of ii :>. George V. Bewani ;
a:.d whereas, the people ol tub Stale are mostdeeply
interested in the sentiments and views of tl c person
to be appointed such Minister, and from their geu
graphical position believe their wishes ought to be
respected by the President in the appolniinent of
such Minister; and wheieas, we have Heard that our
fellow-citizen, H.iu. Juhn F. Swift, has been recom
mended to the President of the United States as a
suitable person to be appointed to that position;
therefore
ttesolved by tbe Assembly, the Senate concurring,
That we have every confidence in t'.e capacity and
Integrity of ihe Hon. John F. Swift, and b.lieve him
to be peculiarly well qualified to fill the position of
M in;-. i i to China to the entire satisfaction of the
people of the Inited Slates.
Kcsolved, That we earnestly recommend the ap
-I'ointirent bT the President and confirmation by the
Senate of the Hon. John e'. Bwift, of San Francisco,
California, as Minister to China.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
transmitted by telegraph to our Senators and Repre
sentatives m Con^TCdS by the Secretary of State.
MINISTER TO CHINA.
Mr. Johnson— ordinary circumstances, sir,
I would not beiii favorof the adoption of such areso
lutiou as that, believing it to be no more than prc|>er
on the part of State Lescislatures to permit the
President of the (Jotted ' stat. s to exercise his own
discretion in the selection of those officers that the
Constitution make it obligatory on him to appoint.
But this is a peculiar and anomo'ous condition of af
faiis. The question now for us to dedde is whether
we will lend what little influence or great influence
we may have in selecting or in assisting in the helc-e
--tion of a Minister to China, wh i will represent the
views of the people of the Pacific coast in oppoiilion
to the Chinamen being in our midst. The only
method at proent that we have of expressing our
vie«s, is in askiDgtbe President to appoint a man
from California who will reprecenttbe views and the
feelings of California, and not some man from the
Eastern States who will represent their views and
their feelings. Therefore, sir, waiving what little
feeling I may have as to tho slight impropriety of
the matter, I move the adoption of the resolutions
and trust that they will be unanimously concurred
in.
Mr Exoa— l rise to Sicond the motion made by
the Senator from Sacramento, and it affords me
much pleasure to h-.ive an opportunity to approve
the recommendation of Mr. Swift. He is my neigh
borand one of my constituents of my district. 1
have also pleasure in saying that I hear.ily indorse
the resolutions as to his ability, and as to his sym
patby and interest with us on this coast. By our
unanimous— and 1 trust the Senate will indorse
that resolution unanimously— that the President—
the acting President of the United States— may
knew tl'jt without distinction of party, DemocraU,
Workiiiguien and Kepublicaus ou this coast are
united on this Chinese question, aud that we are by
our act giving the l/u-tcrn people to understand
that we doiiot, and will not, be recognized as hood
lums in sending this recommendation to the Presi
dent of the United Slates.
A BUBSTITBTK.
Mr. Morel • offered the following substitute:
Whkkka.s, We have learned that there is soon
to be appointed a Minister of the United States
to the Empire of China in place of Hon. George P.
Seward, the present incumbent; and whereas, the
people of this State are most deeply iu
terested in the sentiments and views of the
I>erson to be appointed such Minister, and from,
their geographic position believe their wishes
ought to be respected by the appointing power in
tin- selection of Buch Minister; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, the Assembly con
curring, That we earnestly recommend the appoint
ment of a representative citizen of California whose
views are well known and pronounced in opposition
to Chinese immigration.
Resolved, That a copy "f these resolutions be
transmitted by telegiuph to our Senators and
Etepraseatativea 111 ContfresS by 'he Secretary of
ittate.
Mr. Moreland— The resolutions • i have offered
us a substitute for the original are almost identical
in language and also idea. The only difference is
that they leave OHt the name of any particular per
son. I do not thi k th»t this body ought to be
placetl in tho attitude ol log-rolling, as it may be,
for any parUcutai person for that positiou, but
BUnply recommend the appointment of a person
who i* sound in his views upon the questions thai
agitate the people of this State. 1 therefore hope
that these resolutions will be adopted in place of
the original,
THI OTHKK SIDK.
Mr. Kane— Mr. President and Senators, I cannot
atrr c with my distinguished friend the Senator
from the Thirteenth, neither do I agree with
our distinguished Senator from Sacramento.
In my huniblo opinion it is an insult
thrown into the teeth of President Hayes
to ask him to appoint John F. Swift
or any othar individual. I think the proper
course, in my bumble opinion ss a saud-lotter — al
though designated on this floor yesterday as a sand
lotter 1 am proud of being a sand lottcr —^ut 1 say
that it is the place of this b"dy. tn my bumble judy.
ment, to recommend to Butberfora li. Bayes to
appoint a man from -California— whoever "in his
judgment ho may see fit to appoint— not John P.
Swift, or any other individual ; for toha V. Swift is
a man that always worked for coin, and nobody can
deny it. Kor me, lam prepared to have a man that
is at heart with the laboring classes, not a man thnt
is in behalf of the aristocracy. Therefore I say that
it is an insult thrown into the teeth of President
lyes for this bxiv to abk to have him appoint John
K. Swift. I hope that a resolution will be passed
saying to President Hayes, "Appoint a man from
the Pacific alope who is an anti-Gninese man. '
lIKIIITIAL. '
Mr. Johnson— l simply rise, sir, to say that the
only way in which anything can be done is by ciili
tering upon some one person. Ido not wish to take
up any time and 1 therefore call for the ayes and
noes on the substitute, and trust that the substitute
will be voted down, and thxt the- original resolutions
will be adopted.
Mr. CoNokii— l agree with the Senator from the
Thirtei District, aud I disagree with the Senator
from the Eleventh, of my own party. I look at it
in this light- as a recommendation to President
Hayes ts appoinl this gentleman, John P. Swift,
who is a member of his own party, and aa I have
no hopes of his appointing a member of the party
to which I have th« honor to belong, I therefore
indorse the resolution, as a recommendation of
John F. Swift. .
The substitute was lost.
On the original resolutions the ayes and noes were
demanded by Senators Johnson, Pardee and Watson,
and the resolutions were : opted by a vote of 23
ayes t.« 3 noes— Senators Glascock, Kune and Nelson.
Senator Brown in the chair.]
SYMrATUY FOR IKKf.AND
Mr. Johnson • ffered the f-<llowin^' resolutions :
Resolved. That we extend our svmpiithy to the
people of Ireland in this the time of their greatjlis.
treas, when famine and fever are threatening de
struction tithousanrts of the friends and relations
of a lar^e portion of our citizens ;
Resolved, That we sympathize with them in their
efforts to cast off the yoke of the iniquitous feudal
land system, an heirloom of by-gone, tyrannical
days which, while c.ntralizini,' power in the hands
of the few, reduces to servitude the many.
Mr. Johnson— l move the adoption of the resolu
tions.
Mr. Baker— l move they he referred to the Com
mittee on Federal Relations, when appointed.
So ordered. •
RESOLUTIONS.
By Mr. Eso»--Rrßolved, That the Sergcant-at-
Arms be authorized to receive from the Controller
the warrants due the officers and members of the
Senate, and receipt therefor.
Adopted.
By Mr. Neumans— Resolved, That the action of
the Senate upon the nominations submitted by the
Governor be made a ppecial order of the day for

that day. :
Adopted.
liv Vr. Exob— Resolved, That Auiruste Rose re
and he is hereby appointed PostofSce Page of the
Senate, at a per diem cf $3. payable out of the a|i-
Lropriation for tbe contingent expenses of the
Senate.
Mr. Exos— fffered a resolution for this yofincr
man yesterday to be Paperfoldcr, but on e\arni
tion found that we had no authority, and I find that
we have authority to give this boy, who«e father is
blind, tbil p «ition, and I recommend ti adoptior..
Mr. Baker— l move that it he referred to the Com
mittee «n Continent Expens-s.
By Mr. Davis— Resolved, That the Beiimit at-
Arm be em^wered to employ a clerk for his office
at a per diem to be tieresfh-r fixed, payalile out of
the appropriation for the contingent expenses of the
Senate. .
Mr. B-RT— I move that tliat resolution take the
same course i* the last, and be referred to the Com
miitee on I o-:tin<jent Ex enses when appointed.
SERQEASr-AT ARMS' CLKRK.
Mr. Jonxso.l— llavinjr once had the honor of be
ing clerk to the Serjeant at-Artns, I know that
there is a necessity for such a clerk. Tea cannot
have a Ser&rea t-at-Arms unless you give him a
clerk. He has <rot a clerk there now, and it is
utterly irnpo.-«ihle for him to atWrd to the duti s of
bis position end te a bookketper also. I have
be.-n there and know what it is, an t I hope the gen
tleman will «rht)drw» his motion.
Mr. BiiRT - 1 wish to state in thi« oonnectioi that

that the S. r;'ian> at- mi>rr.' to i-i'har/e tin

* Mr. Chapb — I hope this resolution will take the
course of the othtr resolutions pvrtaininjr to tl.i%
s jl jt <-t. until tue committee ay certain what aseiat
»nee in necessary. '
The motion to refer to the committee pre7«iled. ■
' By Mr. Wsspnjr-Ri«olveJ, That Newwn Beae
ii-i, temporary Ifinute Clerk, be retained at ti.
lesk until such Hue as ■:: irwis ordered '.y tin

Mr. ilomn-on I move that theresolottongototbe

The motion prevailed.

LiKUTKNANT-GovKKNuR Joiinson- Senators : For

THE rKKHIDKNT'B REMARKS.
Lirutenant Govkrnok Man.ihm.d — ' hi assuming
the duties of the Cinir, as presiding offfoerof the
Senate, with my limited experience in parlia
mentary practice, I beg the indulgence of the
Senators for any orroncous or irregular rulings I
may make, assuring the Senate that it is my inten
tion and purpose on all occasions to treat every
Senator with fairness, justice -md entire impar
tiality. 1 need not remind the Senate of the im
fiortance of its first session under the new Constitu
tion, nor of the many questions of magnitude that
wil come In fore y m for consideration, and that it
is to the Legislature the (Hinple are looking for their
prompt and satisfactory solution. All efforts in
this ditection will receive my hearty co-ope-ation.
I trust that due diligence will murk your delibera
tions, and that by mutual BOnoeSsion and forbear
ance our relations may be pleasant and harmonious,
and our labors result in such wise and judicious
legislation aa will not only receive Executive sanc
tion, but the indorsement of the pejiple ol the State
as well. [Applause] .
LiicitknantGovkknoii Johnson -The last and
only remaining duty I have to perform is the deliv
ery of this emblem of authority (the gavel) to your
presiding officer. It is not necessary for me toex
pres- the hope, for I believe that in tiic discharge of
his ■ In t es this emblem of authority wiil always be
exercised with prudence and wisdom.
THE RKTiiuxu ttamowrt.
Mr. Johnson — I desire to move, and I trust tome
gentleman from the opposition will second— and [
have no doubt that the motion will receive the sup
port of every Senator present — to return the thanks
«f this Senate to the Hon. James A. Johnson for
the able, impartial, faithful and kindly manner in
which he has presided over our deliberations so far.
Be needs no eulogium at my hands. His conduct
.speaks for itsvif ill more eloquent language than 1
can command.
Mr. Exos — second the motion. ;'■■'■
Mr. Satterwhite— I wish to say a few words on
that motion. I have been a member of this body
two sessliDS, while Lciuterrant-Governor Johnson
has been presiding officer of the same, and I can
safely say that a better or more impartial presiding
ameer will never be found in any body.
Mr. Brown— As I have been a mber before, I
simply wish to indorse all that Senator Satterwhite
has said.
The motion prevailed unanimously by a ri=inz
vote.

of contempt in not obeying a summons to testify in

a tele-gram to the committee, saying that he knew
nothing about the election of IngiiUs. •
Saulshurv, Chairman of the committee, favored
discharging the witness upon hii appearing before

MrMil vi and others objected to keepingt he wit
ness in custody, claiming tint no lawful summons
had been served trpon him.

purged themselves of contempt.

Washington, Jani:ary Bth.— Reagan, Chairman i f
the Committee on Commerce, attacked the new rule
that proposes to deprive that committee of the duty
of preparing a river and harbor appropriation bill, and
to assign it to the Commit cc on Appr-'priations.
Armtield, from the Committee on Mines and Min
ing, reported a bill concerning the locations on min
eral lanos. Referred to Committee of the Whole.
In the discussion in Committee of the Whole re
garding the powers and functions of the various
committees, Uarficld expressed himself satisfied
that the rivers and harbors should receive liberal
appropriation", since 861,123,000,000 hail been spi nt
in opening up the great water-courses of the country,
and that the work ought to go on unM all the nat
ural water channels and navigable rivers were im
proved. He explained that the Committee "f I
Appropriations and Committee of Ways and Means
Stood with their backs to each other, looking In op

harmonized. - »

Congress by his individual and personal exertion.
O'Neill ran on, eulogizing Elihu Washburn, the
former Chairman of the Committee on Commerce,
when McCook asked if this was a Washburn
" boom."
Stevens defended the action of the Committee on
Rules, and particjlarly favored the rule which re
ferred tbe river and harbor bill to the Committee on
Appropriations for levision.
The committee then rose, several executive com
munications were appropriately referred, and the
House adjourned. ■

THE cnKHl'PTlojf CHARGES.'
Immediately upon the opening of the Senate,
Senator ll<il>Bon, of Lincoln, offered the following :
Ordered, that a jolDt eelect committee of three on
the p-irt of the Senate, with micli as the House may
apjioint, be appointed by the C'iiair to lnratimta
the charges of bribery and intiniida'ion alleged to
have been attempted on the members of the L gis
lature since they received their certificates, with
' power to send for persons and papers, and that the
committee be instructed to commence their investi
gation to-day on tho adjournment of this session,
and report an soon as may be.
This order wi_» opposed by OumUlll Locke,
Harris, Berry and other Republicans, on
the ground that there was only a ftrcet
rumor fur the charire of brin ry en the part of
the Semite. If members of the House had been
bribed or intimidated, then the investigation should
bc^in there.
The order passei.
HOUSE PBOCBDIirCHk
On opening the House, the Speaker invoked good
order, and intimated that the scenes enacted yes
terday by outsider! would not be repeated. He bad
scarcely finished ifyriiMii); wh.n the d>«rrs were
o|iencd and the windows thrown up, and the iiujia
tient crowd nubed in. After the p.ople had en
tered quiet was again restored, but at one time
trouble was imminent.
The record of yesterday was read, and shnwtd
that not more than seventy-two votes were
for anyandidate voted for.
Hale announced the uieeun of sixty certificate
inemberH, being Republicans who withdrew yester
day, who were ready to be qualified.
Tliey were conducted to the Council Chamber,
hut acting Governer Lamson declined to qualify
them at present, as he did not exactly know the ex
tent of his powers in that direction, but should in
form himself.
The Hou»e then quietly adjourned
The members will undoubtedly be qualified to
morrow, Mr. Sproul of Veazie among the number,
who will act with the Republicans, giving the Ke
i publicans a majority in the popular branch should
I the members from the five cities be admitted.
BESI'ME 01 THE SITI'ATION.
Chicago, .lanuarj- Bth. Tlie Iflttr-OoMM'l An
_'M-: i s|)ecial, which is understood to be inspired by
the roost pro r. incut Republican politician in Maine,
says : At midnight, although many rumors arc
rife, nothing can be stated positively as to what will
take place to-mo 1 row. It is said that the Fusion
caucus voted to-night to scat the members from the
five unrepresented cities, but opinion is divided as
to whether such action will be taken.
It is iil*> reported that the first action will be to
elect a Governor, and after thit ig done to seat
these members.
It is state'l as a fact that an injunction will be
put on the State Treasurer Rgainst the payment of
any moneys, on the ground of an illegal organiza
tion of the Legislature, no quorum having acLed in
itsorciinization.
Midnight havi.ijr arrived, Governor Garcelun and
the Council have ceased to fill their executive posi
tions, and the Sta!e is thus relieved of the most
corrupt, villanious and disgraceful head which ever
disgraced any State in the t'nion.
joi;rsalistic VIEWS.
The Timei publishes two columns of fine print of
editorial extracts from sixteen papers, representing
the principal cities in the country, respecting the
situation in Maine. ' Only three— the Cincinnati En
auirer, St. Louis Republican and Boston Ulcbe
(Butler's — approve of Garcclon's course. All
the ftthera denounce it in more or loss stalwart tennt*

t-ixiv Republicans are ready t-> qualify, and it is
claimed that .they can do >. to -morrow before a
